This event is a pre-procurement activity to engage potential providers, and it will take place virtually on Friday 1st March 2024. The event aims to outline commissioning intentions, describe current services, and explain the upcoming procurement process. Providers interested in Category 2 should confirm attendance by email before Noon on Wednesday 28th February 2024. This tender presents an opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs in the health and social work services sector to engage with the London Borough of Newham's procurement process. Businesses that can offer accommodation and community-based support for homeless individuals are well-suited to compete. The Council's initiative focuses on developing residents' tenancy management skills and addressing their vulnerabilities. Participating providers may eventually be invited to tender for contracts through a mini-competition, providing potential growth opportunities for suitable businesses. ## Notice The London Borough of Newham established the Supporting Vulnerable Adults Dynamic Purchasing Vehicle (DPV) in 2023 which included seven (7) categories. Category 1 (Supported Living) has already been launched. The Authority is now inviting providers to a market engagement event for Category 2 which relates to Supporting Vulnerable Single Homeless Adults (SVSHA). Category 2 is to provide accommodation and/or community based housing related support for service users experiencing or at identified risk of homelessness and rough sleeping. The primary purpose of Category 2 is to support each resident at any given time to develop or re-develop the skills necessary to manage a tenancy and address their individual vulnerabilities. The aim of this event is to provide a brief outline of the commissioning intentions, to give an overview of the current services provided in Newham, describe the Council's visions going forward and explain the procurement process. It is anticipated that the procurement process will include an admission stage and only those providers who are successfully admitted to the DPV for Category 2 will then be invited to tender for contract(s) through mini-competition. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the Authority is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the pre-procurement market engagement process shall not prevent any provider participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the pre-procurement process shall place any provider at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the pre-procurement market engagement procurement process will be at each providers own cost. No expense in responding to this process will be reimbursed by the Authority. This is not a call for competition. The virtual provider engagement session will be held via MS Teams between 10:00am-11:00am on Friday 1st March 2024. To ensure you receive a link to this event, please confirm attendance by Noon on Wednesday 28th February 2024, by emailing Chris Atkin on Chris.Atkin@newham.gov.uk, by quoting in the subject header 'Provider Market Engagement Event - Category 2'. Please confirm the name of your organisation and the individual's contact details for each person attending; note a maximum of two representatives from each organisation is permitted. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/343bf468-9d56-496d-ba58-4a2dc57f6f6b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Feb 2024 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Mar 2024 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF NEWHAM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E16 2QU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Royal Albert | | Westminster constituency | West Ham and Beckton | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 22 Feb 2024 at 13:37 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/343bf468-9d56-496d-ba58-4a2dc57f6f6b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/343bf468-9d56-496d-ba58-4a2dc57f6f6b 22nd February 2024 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.newham.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
